Rockies at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 7 Rockies 4

Moneyline

PASS.

The Braves (-250) should beat the Rockies for the 4th straight time but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the ML when Atlanta should win by multiple runs. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET BRAVES -1.5 (-130).

Atlanta has won 10 of its last 12 games and 11 of its last 13 wins have been by multiple runs. Colorado is 0-6 in its last 6 games vs. teams with a winning record and 15 of its last 18 losses have been by 2 or more runs.

Over/Under

BET OVER 10.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in the Braves’ last 4 games and is 5-2 in their last 7 after a win. The Over has gone 22-10-1 in Atlanta’s last 33 at home and should hit again Friday with the inconsistent Lamet on the mound for Colorado.
